  1. The Dude

    Crowd rescues crashed motorcyclist.

    Looks like the guy in the suit is the BMW driver. He can be seen leaning on the trunk while the guy is still pinned underneath. When everyone pitches in to save the guy, he doesn't lift a finger. It's bad enough he caused the accident, but he should be embarrassed by his actions afterward. Yeah...

    First thing to go - need some advice

    September is not a great time to be selling a bike in upstate NY. If at all possible, I would try to hold onto it until the spring. If you still need to sell it at that time, you'd be able to get more for it. I think you'd be in the $2500 ballpark right now. The mileage, damage, and fact that...

    The Blame Game II: From Russia with Negligence

    Sorry. I figured it wasn't too bad since you don't see any gore or disfigurement. I wasn't expecting to see it either. I just assumed since it was on YouTube (I saw it browsing most viewed in Auto) that it wasn't too bad. It was the S500, and yes, it was moving as fast as he was. It stopped...

    The Blame Game II: From Russia with Negligence

    My observations... -The rider is splitting lanes. I don't know if that's legal in Russia, but at least he's using his flash to pass button. You wonder why he was even splitting lanes when it looks like the rightmost lane is empty. -The driver fails to signal their lane change. And despite the...

    FZ6 vs. Vstrom

    Sounds like this should be an easy call. You're looking for a bike that's smooth, comfortable for long trips, and fun. That's the Wee-strom. If your criteria was biased toward performance, I could see the FZ6 being the better choice. But since you didn't mention acceleration or handling, there's...

    Rear-ended

    Glad you're relatively okay. Sucks that he fled the scene, but that doesn't have to be the end of it. Checking for cameras is a good idea. Even if they can't identify the plate, they'll give you a direction of travel. Follow that path in hopes of finding more footage. Do you know the make of...

    How not to do a high chair wheelie

    Zak Gets Der'ED on the highway Nice recovery though. I don't think anybody saw that. Better make a quick exit.

    In case you needed one more reason to wear a helmet...

    oops, that should be wear. I guess I've taken too many blows to the head without a helmet.

    Why didn't I think of that?!?!

    New member, thinking of buying an FZ6

    Picked up an '08 over a year ago with 7K for $3800. Offer $3500 and walk away when they say they can't make the sale. Stop in a week later and see if it's still there. Also, the internet.

    POLL: A-hole competition

    In the comments, the poster said the Zero had dealer plates. Maybe he was on a test drive or worked at a dealer. If it wasn't his bike, I could see that as being motivation to split. Even if it wasn't damaged, you wouldn't want to have to disclose an accident on a brand new bike.

    POLL: A-hole competition

    Watch the video. Put yourself in the cameraman's shoes. Who would you be more pissed off with after this incident? 1.) Motorcyclist fleeing the scene of an accident (w/ no apparent damage) and leaving you with the vehicle he hit. 2.) Truck driver who blocks you in the middle of the highway...

    Motorcycle 0 -- Dog 1

    The Dog Was Cause Of Accident I don't think he would have gone over the bars if he wasn't on the front brake so hard. Of course, you could probably blame the music too :D

    Kids with Civics crack me up (warning, bit of a pent up rant)

    Civic guy was trolling you. They probably just wanted to see if you would wreck trying to race them. Everyone knows motorcycles can accelerate faster than cars (or they should). There's no point in engaging with them. By doing so, you only validate the belief their car is fast. Because why would...

    Feels different when I lean to the right than to the left, why?

    Get a tape measure... your left arm must be longer than your right.

    Man jumps barriers at Rainham LX

    The devil's in the details. The first guy crossed like a boss. Second guy must not have been paying attention when his mom taught him to look both ways.

    suprised at how many people not wearing helmets

    You're assuming un-helmeted riders are making decisions based on protecting themselves in the event of a crash. If they were doing that, they'd already be wearing a helmet. Your insurance should have an out of pocket maximum. You pay your deductible first. Then you pay X% of the bills up to...
